That's so awesome, Zooey!! Healing thoughts to the ol left knee & enjoy a well-deserved week of slacking ;)

I'm determined to get back to an every-other-day running schedule. First real life needs to stop spinning long enough for me to remember that, though :D
A race registration would help kick me into gear... Maybe...

ugh - I'm getting so freakin' fat!  Looking at pics of myself isn't fun right now and I don't ever feel cute or sexy.  I'm going to spend the next few days cutting some severe calories and I've put together an 8-workout-a-week schedule so that I can see some results quickly.  le sigh.

I hear you, Zooey, and I'm with ya!
Starting to train for that sept race next week- I keep getting closer to gaining back all 33 pounds I lost the one time I showed some willpower with ww and exercise... Ugh, I feel pretty pathetic about that ::)

And much luck and tribe mojo to lj & misty w races tomorrow!
*cheers*

Hey guess what? If you don't train hard, you run slow! But I had a great weekend with my daughter (just her and me this year), and I walked for a while with a really nice lady from massachusetts, so it's all good!

Oh, this is a really exciting thread!
My Cross Country conditioning started last week so I've been out running every day, and I'm signed up for a 5k on Saturday :)

Hi everyone!  It's that crazy time of year at work for me, when at least one of my runs each weeks gets taken up by protests/graduation ceremonies/thesis presentations. The good news is that I've managed to keep my endurance up for my runs.  Husband promises to sign us up for some 5k in June, but I won't mind if he forgets.  ;)  Keep on truckin!

Cross country is great!  Hope your summer training goes well!  It'll really pay off in the fall.

OK, jab, zooey, are you in on this with me?  I'm guessing you don't need it as much as I do, but I've decided that starting June 1, I'm gonna focus on 90 days of summer, where I really pay attention to what I eat and how much I work out.  Cuz I've got some extra weight again that really needs to  come off again.  Anybody else out there want to join me?  We've done it before, we can do it again!

I recently - FINALLY - joined a gym. A YMCA with a pool (YAY! It had literally been years since I'd gone swimming anywhere). I had to bring my boyfriend along with me for moral support to actually go in and join (I have issues about starting new exercise stuff). I've been going regularly the past two weeks, which is a pretty big deal for me.

I fully admit that I have no inclination whatsoever to change my diet until after my birthday cake is gone. Post-birthday, I'm going to go drill-sergeant on myself.

lj, I am SOOOOOOOO in.  Should we start posting daily again?  I just wrote down everything I ate today.  I thought I was doing pretty well, but I quickly got up to 1465 calories!!!!!  I did swim a mile though.  But yes, count me in.  Coach Mullen, the tribe is back in business!!

And welcome, Shesgonnadreamoutloud (can we call you "Dream" for short?)  We're a very supportive group here.  What's your back ground?  Are you on a cross country team?
